	For creating Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Building. Thank you. Enjoyed your article and will make a point to visit it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:31, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for the barnstar, 7&6=thirteen! I'm glad you enjoyed reading the article...I certainly enjoyed writing it. There is a lot of cool stuff in Flint. It has inspired a few of my former DYK nominations (Chevy Commons, the Flint Public Library, and the Buick XP-300), and it will almost certainly inspire more going forward! All the best.

Good Evening, M

Thank you for a couple of "thank you"s (Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Building). I enjoyed going through your books at librarything and discovered that I too own one of the 3 copies of "Designing Detroit" there. Small world. Carptrash (talk) 05:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bowling-related media

Michael, I've been extensively revising articles related to bowling, and I noticed you recently uploaded images of the Bowling Museum/Hall of Fame ("Thank you for your service!"). Seeing your Commons gallery for that building, I could not find a picture of a painting, said to be made in Britain in about 1810, that showed people bowling with ten pins. By any chance, did you notice that painting and take a fairly close-up picture of it? OK to reply below.
P.S. I plan to crop your pictures of bowling ball cores and the bowling pin manufacturing process, and upload them for inclusion in articles.
Thanks for your attention. —RCraig09 (talk) 21:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, RCraig09! I did not take any photos of the artwork in the museum, as there is no freedom of panorama for artwork in the United States and I wouldn't have been able to upload those images to Commons. I did notice a lot of art in the museum, mostly paintings, but I don't distinctly remember a circa 1810 British painting of people bowling with ten pins. I'm sorry I can't be of more use. Michael Barera (talk) 04:28, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Michael. As an aside: I wonder whether freedom of panorama even comes into play for an ~1810 artwork, in which any underlying claim to copyright is long expired. Just a thought; no response necessary. —RCraig09 (talk) 14:48, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're absolutely right...if it was published in the United States before 1924, it would be in the public domain. There was plenty of 20th-century art in the museum, the vast majority of which is still protected by copyright law, but an 1810 painting would almost certainly be in the public domain. If you can find an image of it anywhere online, you can probably upload it to Commons with a PD license. I'd be happy to help if you can find the image. Michael Barera (talk) 01:29, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

It's me! Would you be available to review my page this evening? I'm 98% sure I'll be done! Centehua (talk) 16:57, 23 April 2019‎ (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Centehua, I'd be happy to. I'd highly recommend that you move it to the mainspace first, nominate it for DYK, and then let me know so I can copyedit it as part of my DYK review. I'm really looking forward to reading it! Michael Barera (talk) 00:07, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Timeline of the Republic of Texas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Arrowsmith (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:57, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Texas Reliability Entity

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your review and copyediting of Texas Reliability Entity. I haven't been particularly active on writing articles (have been either inactive, gnoming, making minor changes, or making stubs), so it was really helpful to see your changes against my version for my future writing. One question I had was about your revisions to the citations I generated, where it looks like you added the blank fields into the Wikimarkup like in this block: |title=Compliance|last=|first=|date=|.

Is that just a matter of convention for future revision? Is there an easy way to generate citations that automatically create the blank fields instead of omitting them?

Thanks, and have a great weekend! Upjav (talk) 21:02, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are most welcome, Upjav!

I was using VisualEditor while I was editing the Texas Reliability Entity article during my DYK review, and it will automatically add major parameters to citation templates, even if they are unused. It isn't a huge deal, but I've gone back and removed those parameters to make the code a little cleaner to the human eye. It doesn't make any difference to how the page appears to a reader.

Hopefully that makes sense. All the best! Michael Barera (talk) 07:04, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's helpful, Michael. Thanks and all the best to you too. Upjav (talk) 16:58, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
